Car is sold… and the good ones do move, especially those that are we’ll maintained and cared for. Appreciate those who reached out about the car. Cheers!
Great passionated seller to deal with . Passed PPI with flying colors . The car should be here wednesday or friday ( a long way from WA to FL).
Least effort: Sell it as is. Also will be least ROI.
Return it to stock, sell the parts separately will yield best return, but also biggest hassle.
While everyone seemingly wants to buy/own a "track ready car" like the RS, the reality is that it is probably single digit percentage of owners that will actually ever take it to the track more than once or twice during their ownership and would want a harness, cage, seats, etc. Higher percentage for sure here on Rennlist, but that's only a small segment of the actual market.
I agree with PFBZ’s suggestions, especially returning the RS to near OEM specs. Considering, that your RS is now 6 years old (as is mine), my thoughts are that there’s a larger group of potential buyers searching for an original (non-modded), 16 RS. That most of these buyers don’t plan to track the car, but to enjoy it on the backroads and/or for cruising. Think of your own words you’ve shared in terms of your RS’s current setup/ride experiences. If it’s little enjoyment for you as the driver, think of what a spouse, etc… thinks.
Selling the various parts and pieces is not unrealistic as long as you’re reasonable and able to manage your expectations. You’ve been very transparent in your post and that will continue to pay dividends as you go forward. Bests! JB
I haven't tracked my 991.1 RS since December '20 and have only driven it 2-3 times since. Thinking of selling it as I've lost the interest to track. It has been modded for track use. Do I need to put it back to OEM with full disclosure it has been tracked or do I list it as is track ready with OEM parts?
The mods are: dot 2 side skirts and rear wing end plates, Salter Aero CF wing uprights, BBi harness cage, Sabelt seats, front & center deletes with Dundon Crack pipe.
Pretty well optioned ($211 sticker), but no buckets. Is that a bad thing? It only takes 5 min to swap out seats. Had a full service over the winter. It's been a great car, but I just don't drive it and frankly, my 812 SF hardly gets driven and at least
it is quiet and softer sprung. Anyway I'd appreciate any thoughts on what to do with respect to spending the money to sell it and part out the mods, etc. Also are the 18 ways really a negative? Thanks, Frank
(Mods if this is inappropriate, please let me know and I'll do whatever needs to be done)

I am 6 months from looking for this car. My garage is underway and I have no where to park it until it is done. I want sofas and not buckets myself. Buckets are tight on my hips. If I was a chick you would say I have birthing hips!
so ill say it.....why bother lying about selling to a friend? You sold it to whoever you felt like it, which is totally fine. Why the bull****ting here?(rhetorical questions)

Had no idea it was listed (or going to be listed) and appreciate the heads up. He said he didn’t know if he would keep it long term and wouldn’t want to undermine me selling for more. I told him that I was selling it for an agreed price and what he did from there is up to him…but didn’t think he meant one day.
By friend, it’s a person I’ve become friendly with through IG as I had interest in a Camaro that he bought and sold. Assume he’s testing the waters to see if he can flip it…
I can put in the 18 ways, put the side & center mufflers back in, go to a more normal geometry, etc all of which would make the car more civilized. Can the OEM suspension be made softer or would that require more aftermarket modifications?
Please, no purist responses. I really don't want to sell the car- I just love it. But frankly it is just unbearable to drive as is and life is short.
I was talking to an older couple (late 60’‘s-70’s) with a .2 RS. They had sofas but also swapped out the .2 springs for .1 springs to soften the ride. IIRC the .2 has stiffer springs but other suspension components are softer, whereas the .1 has softer springs but stiffer other suspension components. So it seems you can combine bits from them.1 and .2 to get a softer ride.
